I paired my phone to my in car Bluetooth but, my contacts are not syncing to the car. All my contacts are saved to my Gmail profile and I enabled access to contacts on the Bluetooth option in the phone but it's still not working.
I found out that the contacts are transfering to the car when they are stored locally on the phone. I had to save them locally and then I was able to sync them.
Works fine for me, and I have the worst bluetooth stereo ever (base model Renault OEM junk).

Hi,
I have been using my Diamond with a standard bluetooth handsfree earpiece for some time, generally works really well.
I've recently changed cars and now have a ford stereo with built in bluetooth handsfree / voice commands.
The stereo can access the phonebook from the phone, but I have a fair few contacts, most of which I wont need day to day while in the car. Is there any software which can limit which contacts get sent to the headunit, ie via category?
The only software i've found is the JETware Hands-free Extension, but it doesnt seem to work and post on there forum mentions the BT stack used by the Diamond / Touch pro isnt compatible.
Thanks in advance
Is there any way to have SMS messages read to you over bluetooth without additional apps? I've tried DriveSafe.ly, and Vlingo and both read SMS over the speaker on the phone. It's a shame really, my Lumia did this by default.
Doesn't googles text-to-speech do this..? I have my phone setup with that and it plays through my car stereo via bluetooth [aftermarket stereo, not one of those luxury ones ;D]
I use my N5 in my car which has built-in bluetooth (Ford Focus, 2011 w/ sync).
The in-car speakerphone mode works great. However, the car doesn't send audio to the phone other than during a call. And since the phone sees a BT headset connected, it disables its own mic. So things like google now and voice commands don't work. And the car does voice-commanded dialing through its own phonebook rather than the phone's phonebook. So I have to regularly sync the two to keep the car's database updated.
Is there a way to have the N5 use the car only as a A2DP and AVRCP device, until a phone call comes in, and then switch over to a headset profile? That way I could still use the phone's mic for voice commands but have the car's speakers/mic handle calls.

I think you can do it with Utter! and Tasker.

Not sure what utter is needed for - I will look into getting tasker to do it.
I think I found a bug with Pixel BT. I use two BT connections, one to my car head unit directly for phone calls and the other to an Astell&Kern high quality BT receiver for music. In settings media is turned off for the car connection, and phone is turned off for the music BT.
The problem is that the media BT receiver will not connect automatically unless I turn back on the phone setting. Which kind of defeats the purpose.
Can anyone think of a way to fix this -- make it connect automatically without phone BT enabled?
I have a BMW 1-series 2011 with navigation business. When I connect my mix2s to the car everything is working - calls, music etc. But when I start the phonebook/contacts in the car it shows me "no contacts".
BUT: it shows me the recent calls and missed calls WITH the names. For example when Tom is calling me I see his name, but I can't call Tom with the phonebook, just with the recent calls tab or missed calls.
With my mi5 on lineageOS 15.1 all was working fine and the phonebook synced completely with the same car.
Also already checked that in the bt options "contact sharing" is enabled.
